Anyone else think it's because the RNC is low on money?

I remember hearing reports of difficulties fundraising since Trump never stopped since 2016 and the wells are running dry

Or Trump threw a tantrum about Nikki Haley staying in the race and picked up the phone to the RNC to do something about it.

Even though it would legitimise him more if he actually won a 'competitive' primary against Haley over the next few months. It would also distract from the court cases.

Or it’s because trump wants all the money? To fund his criminal defenses

That's exactly it.

He's been fundraising for his legal defense and now people don't want to pay for Republicans to campaign since the voterbase gave Trump all they could spare and more

I'd like to think that. I have zero evidence for it at all, but it's a nice thought until I can back it up or something better comes along.

Seems that way for a lot of things lately.
